### Error handling

If the request fails (network error) or your server returns with HTTP error >=`500`, we will retry the request 3 times while waiting some time in between. If your webhook URL returns an HTTP error `410` (Gone) we will automatically disable the webhook. You can reenable the webhook on the [CloudConvert dashboard](https://cloudconvert.com/dashboard/api/v2/webhooks).

If your webhook is failing you will receive an email notification.

### Signing

Our requests are cryptographically signed. If you receive a webhook, you should validate it to make sure it comes from us. Each webhook has a unique signing secret. You can show the signing secret in your [webhook settings](https://cloudconvert.com/dashboard/api/v2/webhooks) using the <icon name="i-lucide-key-round">



</icon>

 button.

The `CloudConvert-Signature` header contains a hash-based message authentication code ([HMAC](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hash-based_message_authentication_code)) with [SHA-256](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SHA-2).

As an example, the following PHP function call calculates the signature for validation:

```php
$signature = hash_hmac('sha256', $payload, $signingSecret);
```

`$payload` is the full request body (the JSON string) of our request to the webhook URL. You can find the `$signingSecret` for your webhook in your webhook settings.
